Papa vs Me!


SCHOOL

Daddy: Good evening, little princess. How has your day been so far?

Me: Good evening, papa! I don't like going to school with that big belly uncle's son. No one talks to me when I'm with him.

Daddy: It's a new place, dear. It's going to be great soon. Trust me. How do you like your classmates? Made friends?

Me: The girls are nice, papa. They're really helpful and so much fun. But I don't like the boys. They tease me with other boys.

Daddy: I'm sure they are. Be good to the boys, and you'll make some really good friends even before you know it.

Me: Yeah papa. But I wanted to be in a girls’ school. The girls there wear short skirts to school. And they don't like boys. Just like me.

Daddy: You can wear your favorite clothes to your dance and tennis classes, dear. Now cheer up!

Me: Ok, papa. But when I grow up, I want to be in a girls’ college ok? Promise?


JUNIOR COLLEGE

Daddy: Hello, sweetheart! How you doing today?

Me: Hey, papa! I'm good. How are you?

Daddy: Never better. So you like your junior college?

Me: Yeah, papa! Pretty much. But why did you put me in an all girls’ college? There are about a hundred in my class!

Daddy: I thought you wanted to be in one. Besides, that's one of the best colleges for the course you said you’d like to take up, dear. You've got to chase your dreams, right?

Me: Hmm.. maybe I do. But it's boring! I don't even feel like wearing my new clothes or getting dressed up.

Daddy: It's ok, dear. You can wear them to parties or when you are out with your friends.

Me: Yeah. But I miss my school friends, papa. We had so much fun!

Daddy: You still can go meet them on weekends.

Me: Yeah, ok. But I don't want to be in a girls’ college anymore. They gossip a lot. About boys.


COLLEGE

Daddy: Hello, my lady. Someone's growing up really quickly! An engineer in the making, I see?

Me: Hey dad! Howz u? Yup! Engineering it is! I like the subjects, but I don't really like my classmates.

Daddy: Why not? You wanted to be in a good, co-ed college. I did my bit of research. This one's ranked second in academics here.

Me: C'mon dad! Don't get started now! I thought they'll be fun. My classmates look horrible and speak some language I don't understand.

Daddy: You still are an engineer and I still am proud of you, dear. You've got to overlook a few things in life and learn to be accommodative.

Me: But my college sucks! I wanted to stay in a hostel and study in another city.

Daddy: We would’ve missed you but that didn't stop us from letting you go, did it? You chose to stay back, didn't you?

Me: Hmm.. yeah! Er.. Dad, but there are cuter guys in other colleges :(

Daddy: Now I know where you coming from. It’s too early! Concentrate on your studies, and things will fall in place.


WORK

Daddy: Hello, miss independent. How is work?

Me: Hey papa! Work's good. So did you sign the deal with that firm finally?

Daddy: Yes, we did! My dream is to give you the best in life, a husband, a lavish wedding, a home, a car.. So did you find someone interesting yet?

Me: C'mon, papa! It’s too early! I'm going to do my masters!
